We’ve known for a while, and I’ve been regularly indicating, that the plans for X-Men: Days of Future Past involve bringing back the “classic” or original X-cast for the sequences set in the ‘future timeline.’

We understand that the main thrust of the story is set in the ‘past’ and features the First Class cast. We don’t know if Stewart will go eye to eye with James McAvoy or McKellen with Michael Fassbender, but the prospect is exciting.
